This tracks. Recently my coworkers and I argued about whether there were three or four Cybertrucks in the Twin Ports, which probably has ~100k people. There's the one with the vanity plate, a black one with a wrap, and either one or two aluminum colored ones. You can count them on one hand.

Looks like in addition to being a bigot, Joanne is also looking for payback for being fired for slagging off her job with Amnesty International. She really is a piece of work.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 3w agoReally crazy to learn that JK Rowling once worked at Amnesty International as a bilingual researcher but she was fired because she was too busy writing books during work hours instead of documenting war crimes in French speaking Africa.
